Glimpses of Bengal is a delightful and must-read collection of letters written in the 1890s, by Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, as he traveled across Bengal to manage his family’s far-flung agricultural estates. Traveling in his houseboat, up and down the Padma River and its many tributaries, Tagore vividly captures the breathtaking imagery of the Bengali countryside and the reticent grace of the day-to-day village life.
